google.desupport.file1.com http://support.file1.com/entries/34666234-Save-Money-With-Hostgator-Discount-Coupon; Choosing the right hosting service is very important. The last thing you desire to do is get a website released with a hosting service (after learning to make use of that hosting service), and afterwards be disappointed with the service and need to mess around with moving your website to another hosting service.

I'm a happy HostGator consumer. I use both HostGator and Bluehost. I recommend both. This post is an in-depth HostGator evaluation.

I'll begin with one of the most crucial considerations: Cost

HostGator has a number of prices strategies. They are as follows (as of the date this article was released):.

Hatchling Plan: as low as $4.95 per month with a 3 year commitment. On this plan you can host one internet site.
Infant Plan: as low as $7.95 per month with a 3 year dedication. On this strategy you can host an unlimited variety of sites.
Company Plan: as low as $12.95 per month with 3 year dedication.

You don't need to dedicate for 3 years. Nevertheless, with shorter term dedications, you'll pay a little even more per month.

You can also get your very own dedicated server if this is something you like to have.

Unlimited number of websites.

I would not think about a hosting service that didn't let me host a limitless number of sites for one regular monthly rate under $10. I have numerous websites and I like the flexibility of being able to build more websites at no added expense (except for signing up the domain name).

If you choose the Child Strategy (this is the plan I have) or Company Plan, you can host as many websites on as numerous domain as you such as. This is where utilizing a hosting service like HostGator can save you a large amount of cash in the long run against utilizing a website contractor or having a website designer host your internet sites. When you make use of a website contractor or have a website designer host your site, you'll usually pay extra for each additional internet site (or each additional set of internet sites).

The drawback of course, is you must handle your own hosting. However, the good news is, this isn't really difficult with the simple CPanel and technical support.

Domain registration.

You can quickly sign up domain names with HostGator. Nothing might be even worse than developing a fantastic internet site and then to lose it all because you forgot to renew your domain name. It's possible then that someone else registers your domain name and you can't get it again.

All HostGator plans offer limitless bandwidth.

This is great and you must need this with any website hosting service. I would rule out utilizing a hosting service that didn't provide unrestricted bandwidth.

Simple CPanel Dash panel.

You handle your sites with HostGator in a dash panel referred to as a CPanel. The CPanel is a simple interface to manage your sites and domains.

Easy website installment.

I specifically require with any hosting service that I utilize can set up WordPress with basically a single click or a series of easy clicks. HostGator offers Fantastico De Luxe and QuickInstall choices for quickly installing WordPress and numerous other scripts to build your website (i.e. Joomla and others).

Access to 4,500 website design templates.

For any web designer, this is substantial. The templates are good. They are primarily HTML and Flash showcase design templates. You can select from over 115 classifications. This is a fantastic method to construct websites inexpensively for clients. You can check out these design templates for yourself on the HostGator website without needing to sign up.

Free website builders.

With an account, you can easily construct a site with one of 2 website contractors you get access to. The 2 site home builders are:.

Trendy Website Contractor, and.
Site Studio website home builder.

Note, you can only utilize the website home builders for one site on your account. Exactly what this indicates is if you get an account where you can host limitless domains, you can just develop one website with a website builder.

Email accounts.

You get limitless POP3 e-mail accounts with SMTP. Having email accounts on your custom-made domain names is more professional than a gmail or hotmail e-mail account.

45 day cash back ensure.

You can get your money back if you cancel your account within 45 days if HostGator isn't for you.

Video tutorials.

HostGator gives you access to numerous video tutorials that step you with lots of processes.

Client support.

The drivers for technical support know a lot about working in HostGator. If you have a question about customizing a WordPress theme, HostGator won't help you (I found this to be the case with Bluehost.

1 Criticism of HostGator.

I had to call HostGator to verify my account upon opening it. This didn't take long, but it was an extra action. I would have preferred just to sign up and start without having to call them for verification.
